 Why aren’t more #bitcoin solo miners joining forces? Is that a thing?

 You mean ... like some kind of ... pool? 
 Indeed 🤣 
 What abstract thought...  
 😂 you got me 
 I was kinda thinking to join forces with some friends of mine. Thus, create a pool 😅 but, not on a large scale. 

Would it grow our chances to mine a block? Sure

Would it be an exciting thought? Most likely

Would be called a pool? Maybe…

Did I just think of something groundbreaking? Probably not 😂 
 I'm willing to join 
 Haha you do? 
 Yeah. I only have a Bitaxe Supra if that's ok 😅 
 That’s fine by me 😅 
 how do we make a mini-mining pool? Is there a term for a friend's pool? Mud puddle? 
 Mud puddle 😂

IDK, If all use the same worker address I guess you’re all in the same pool? 
 They do its called a mining pool 
 Sure. But I kinda meant on a way smaller scale 
 You participate in a mining pool with the hash power you have, regardless if it’s a lot or not, what do you mean on a smaller scale? 
 Sure it’s the same thing. But just a pool between friends. 
More like a jacuzzi maybe 😂 
 Dutch community Satoshi radio had their own pool. - pool.satoshiradio.nl. Big part of the community bought bitaxe to join
